Global warming means lots of freshwater from glacial ice (and rain from
warmer clouds and tropical systems) dumping into the oceans which messes
up the salinity conveyor.  That in turn takes a few years to really
churn up the oceans, but soon you see a die off and a lot cooler, more
cloudy weather, with few tropical systems because the sea surface is no
longer warm enough to support it. No tropical systems means no heat
dispersion from the equatorial regions to the poles and when the heat
engine breaks, cold takes over and creeps ever so slowly at first, down
from the poles.  Summers may be shorter or cooler, Fall, winter, or
Spring longer and wetter.  We may be due for a Little Ice Age or a
Younger Dryas again, or who knows, even a full blown Ice Age.

If anyone has a homeschooler who might want to research this a bit,
especially since President Obama is talking about climate change at the
UN, this page is pretty good.

For worldwide monitoring of things like glacial advances and retreats
and weather extremes, there is always the ever entertaining Ice Age Now

My 8 cu ft wheelbarrow is full again since yesterday morning.
